Piper J-3 Cub, 1937-1947. Creator: Piper Aircraft Corp
N35773; distinctive yellow, high-wing light monoplane with tailwheel; trainer and sport aviation; Continental A-65, 65 hp engine. First built in 1937, the Piper J-3 earned fame as a trainer and sport plane. Its success made the name " Cub" a generic term for light airplanes. The little yellow tail dragger remains one of the most recognized designs in aviation. J-3 Cubs and subsequent models are still found at fields around the world. Thousands of pilots, including three-fourths of those in the Civilian Pilot Training Program, trained in Cubs. William T. Piper and Piper Aircraft are one of general aviations greatest success stories. Piper took Gilbert Taylors Tiger Kitten and E-2 designs and, with Walter Jamoneau, built the Taylor and Piper J-2, then the legendary Piper J-3. When production ended in 1947, 19, 888 Piper Cubs had been built. This Cub was built in 1941 and accumulated more than 6, 000 hours of flying time before being restored in 1975
